Adding some further perspective to the pock-marked rock in the sky beyond our Apollo 11-focusedcoveragefrom the last couple weeks, the image is printed on heavy stock with a slight metallic shimmer and marks the 15 points upon which spacecrafts have descended. From the NASA-led Apollo and Surveyor missions to the Soviets' Luna and Lunokhod voyages, the poster provides an up-close look at the variety of terrain that's been explored.

They've also created a handful of other artfully informative, space-themed prints, including some that showcase the path routes for Apollos 8, 11, and 13, and Freedom 7 (the US' first human spaceflight), plus colorful aerial maps of both the Kennedy Space Center at large, and its Launch Complex 39.
